I agree that the issues he's uncovered needed to be dealt with. His only altruistic motive is that he wants his inflated $400k legal fee paid.

This is what confuses me.

First, if the legal fee is inflated; isn it extortion to demand that an artificial fee be paid "or else?" Simply charging an inflated fee seems unethical.

Second, how could anyone realistically think that their opponent would pay their substantial legal fees, unless UF had done so before?

Third, if you take on Callaway pro bono (maybe he comes from crazy money, most students don't), why would you run up a $400K fee that you know he couldn't pay?
